Okay, we are eclectic tech people. We like our devices, but we don't have everything new. We are very particular in what we want and how we spend our tech dollars. Case in point: Until last Saturday I had never purchased a television. Now, I've never been without a television, just never bought one. My … Continue reading The one, the only, Television purchase

Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.
Fitness Update: Race Delay
For those of you who paid attention to the other posts on the blog this week, you know that Kansas City was all set for the worst ice storm of the decade.

Peace (piece) of the storm

By noon it started at 6 p.m. The forecast didn't change at all after that, but when we went to bed at 9 p.m. no storm … Continue reading Peace (piece) of the storm

Today let's take a brief look at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival in 2006. Post of these pictures are of either my performance group, other performers I traveled around with during my off stage times at the festival, or from the daily parade.
Calm before the storm
Since at least Monday the extended weather forecast has been filled with icy rain/wintry mix possibilities coming up this weekend. When that was all to hit moved back and forth. Sometimes it was Friday, other times everything was clear until Sunday. But today, it looks like it might have actually settled down. The story I … Continue reading Calm before the storm

How to blog …
Cedar had an excellent post today on how to blog. I looked at her post and recognized some of the evolution of my own blog. She made good points about knowing why you write, and planning a schedule. I'm better on the second than the first. But the one thing about a schedule, is you … Continue reading How to blog …
Fitness Update: Cold Start
Well, the year is getting off to a cold start, and so is my fitness goal. As I mentioned previously, the swimming is starting slow, with the hand in the splint. I ran once on the first, and managed to trip into a hole in the dirt on the shoulder of the road. The bicycle … Continue reading Fitness Update: Cold Start

See day's approach no crimson the sky; Night shadows flee, and your Beloved, Awaited with longing, at last draweth nigh.
